Hey Mike, if you thimk the weekender is to small, maybe look at the vacationer (sp). I don't know if you considered it or not. It does look to have more cabin room, but I don't know if the increased cost could would justify it. I have also toyed with some different cabin configurations to gain some space and make some space do double duty, but I won't know if they will work untill I can get the hull built to try and fit them within the hulls constraints. I'll let you know if they do though, as I hope to start on it within a couple of months.Talk to you later. Tom
